INFLUENCE OF
LEARNED HELPLESSNESS AND HOME BACKGROUND ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AMONG SENIOR
SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’
ABSTRACT
The study
employs correlation design in investigating the influence of learned
helplessness and home background on academic performance among secondary school
students in FCT, Nigeria. Three research questions and three research
hypotheses guided the study. A sample of 290 students in the 2014/2015 academic
session from public SSS was selected through cluster sampling techniques.143
males and 147 females from 209 urban and 81 rural public secondary schools were
used. Three sets of research instruments were used to collect data: learned
helplessness scale, home back ground scale and academic performance test in
English Language and Mathematics. The learned helplessness scale and the home
background scale were both validated through content validity and had
reliability of .89 and .79. Simple percentages, frequency, mean, standard
deviation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC).The findings revealed that
there is a statistical significant relationship between learned helplessness
and academic performance of SSS students (r =-0.550, p= 0.000), there is a
statistical significant relationship between academic performance and home
background of SSS students (r= 0.465, p= 0.000) and there is a statistical
significant relationship between home background and learned Helplessness of
SSS students (r = 0.540, p= 0.000). The study therefore recommends that
parent‘s should actively support the learning of their children in such ways as
monitoring children‘s progress and communicating withschool personnel, tutor
children at home to reinforce work done in school and acting as volunteer in
schools as aides or in other roles. Seminars and workshops should be organize
for the parents/guardians so as to equip them with necessary knowledge and
skills so as to enable them play their role effectively as parents as they are
the first teachers for their children and to redress problem of learned
helplessness as its relate to their home background and academic performance.

of human societies and cultures. It is generally accepted as an instrument
excellence for achieving national, societal and personal development. It is an
